Secret hidden talent of Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is revealed

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis reportedly has a secret hidden talent.

The Greek is a successful businessman and also owns Greek giants Olympiacos, as well as the Reds.

But he apparently also has another, perhaps somewhat surprising, string to his bow.

While boss Chris Hughton looks to get a tune out of Forest on the pitch, Marinakis seems to be capable of hitting the right notes off it.

According to the Greek City Times, Greek singer Natassa Theodoridou recently said Marinakis “wrote the lyrics of the song that she sings in the opening title sequence of Mega TV’s series ‘Excitement'”.

Theodoridou is said to have made the revelation on a show called ‘Pame Danai’.

The music for the song was written by composer Petros Iakovidis, with the Greek TV series described as “a powerful drama” with “a powerful police element”.

Shipping magnate Marinakis has a wide variety of interests, other than his stake in the two football clubs.

He also undertakes a lot of charity work and is heavily involved in local civic life in his home town of Piraeus.

And he has also invested in the media sector in Greece.

He took over Forest in May 2017 and has been at the helm of Olympiacos since 2010.
